Default How to remove the paint from my wings west side skirts?

I have wings west side skirts, now is painted in white paint. The paint is so cheap, no primered, only paint.

I want to remove the paint, use the original plastic black colour.

Anyone can teach me how to remove perfectly?

I can't sand it. will it damage the surface?

pretty much use anything to remove the paint, but im not sure how it will affect the polyeurethane or whatever it's made of. You can sand them, nothing wrong with using 1000+ grit sandpaper.

If I use this aircraft stripper, when I apply to surface, the paint will move immediately? How long do I need to wait?

Aircraft remover on plastic or urethane is a No-No.
